Today we went to get some hay. I always thought I was a pretty good packer when it came to filling vehicles, but these folks somehow managed to get 21 bales of hay into our pickup. It may not sound like much for a truck, but bear in mine that the cap was still over the bed, which severely limits how high you can stack bales.

We also realized that the craft shack (now known as the hay shack) is the perfect place to stack hay. You can pull right up to the door and it is dry inside. Only some of our barn is perfectly dry, and sometimes the moisture wicks up from beneath and starts to mold hay stacked on the ground. Now we just keep 1 or 2 bales down in the actual barn. Pumpernickel seems to really enjoy the new hay, it seems to be a better quality than what we had before.

Today is the Floyd county fair and harvest festival! Must get there in time for the cheese eating contest!
